Snap Review: Colic Calm

Ohhhhh Colic Calm how I adore you! My baby was a hot mess last night. Thrashing and crying and rolling around ALL night. Around 2am I gave her a pain reliever/fever reducer because she was miserable. This is highly unusual for me but I tell you this to give you an idea of her state. I’m never quick to use medicine on my children but if they are suffering and in pain I will. Around 4:45am she was STILL crying: nursing her, holding her, rocking her and nothing was calming her down. Then in dawned on me! Colic Calm. I hadn’t had to use it much since we took care of her lip and tongue tie (they caused a bad latch which allowed a lot of air intake which led to reflux and gas issues from birth to 4 months). Within a few minutes of giving it to her she was out! Can you imagine my relief?

The main difference between Colic Calm and most gripe waters is the vegetable charcoal (which makes the liquid itself black and your baby looks a bit like a zombie when it dribbles out of their mouth haha). This ingredient is an inactive material which passes through the intestines without being absorbed itself. On its way, it collects toxins and wastes via adsorption. It also adsorbs gases, thus relieving flatulence, bloating and gas pains. It is fully excreted in bowel movements and will darken stools. Because it is not a drug, it has no direct action on any organ of the body, it does not enter the blood stream, nor is the vegetable carbon itself absorbed into the body. All of it passes out of the body system naturally and easily, along with the gases and toxins it has collected on its journey. Colic Calm also helps the baby’s digestive system adjust to new foods, relieves hiccups and soothes stomach upset that often results from increased saliva production during teething. Trust me every mom should have this product and it works just as great for toddlers and older kids!
